Outgunned but determined Ukrainian troops slowed Russia's advance and held onto the capital and other key cities — at least for now.

KYIV, UKRAINE -- Outgunned but determined Ukrainian troops slowed Russia’s advance and held onto the capital and other key cities — at least for now. In the face of stiff resistance and devastating sanctions, President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s nuclear forces put on high alert, threatening to elevate the war to a terrifying new level.

U.S. officials say they believe the invasion has been more difficult, and slower, than the Kremlin envisioned, though that could change as Moscow adapts. The British Defence Ministry said Monday that the bulk of Putin’s forces are about 30 kilometres north of Kyiv, their advance having been slowed by Ukrainian forces.

It remains to be seen how much the weaponry will help Ukraine fend off Russia’s vastly greater arsenal. While Ukraine sent its defence minister and other top officials, the Russian delegation is led by Putin’s adviser on culture — an unlikely envoy for ending the war and a sign of how Moscow views the talks. It wasn’t immediately clear what Putin is seeking in the talks or from the war itself.
